Chilean Operación Imperio Ámsterdam investigation

Overview

The investigation known as ‘Operación Imperio Ámsterdam’ involves a criminal structure suspected of using medicinal cannabis businesses as a front for drug trafficking, cannabis cultivation, illicit association, and money laundering in Chile.

Initial developments saw the formalization of 38 suspects, including model Camilo Huerta and musician Juan Pablo Astorga. Telephone intercepts analyzed by authorities suggested gang members discussed approaching Chilean deputies Marisela Santibáñez and Ana María Gazmuri following a regulatory decision regarding medicinal marijuana stocks. Both deputies have denied any connection to the individuals involved.

In a subsequent legal development, the Santiago Court of Appeals revoked the preventive detention of eight defendants, including Andrés Astorga Rodríguez, Mario Astorga de Valenzuela, and Gino Athens Athens, replacing it with measures such as travel bans and bi-weekly check-ins. While several individuals were granted these less restrictive measures, Camilo Huerta remains under total house arrest.
